Zac Brown Add Dates, Openers to 2020 Roar With the Lions Tour

Zac Brown Band have added new dates and opening acts to their 2020 Roar With the Lions Tour.

The eclectic group will hit five additional markets on their six-month trek. They're set to perform back-to-back dates in Florida in West Palm Beach on Sept. 17 and Tampa on Sept. 18 and will close out the tour with a trio of shows in California, beginning in Chula Vista on Oct. 23 and Los Angeles on Oct. 24, ending at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on Oct. 25.

The new tour sees them reuniting with Caroline Jones, who will open for the group during the pair of Florida shows and back-to-back performances at the Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Denver, Colo. on Sept. 25 and 26. They'll also bring famed Americana group Old Crow Medicine Show out for two shows in September. "There Was This Girl" singer Riley Green will help them close out the tour during the final three stops in California. They join previously announced openers Gregory Alan Isakov and St. Paul and the Broken Bones.

The setlist for the tour will showcase songs from across Zac Brown's Band's discography, as well as the kinds of diverse cover songs that have always been a hallmark of the group's live shows. The tour's namesake derives from the strong qualities a lion symbolizes.

“Our summer tour is inspired by the folklore surrounding the figure of the lion. I am a Leo, and all of the guys in the band are lions,” frontman Zac Brown explains. “They exemplify strength, courage, intelligence, and loyalty, and work in tandem to defend their territory and one another. The crowd is our pride, rooted in togetherness and fiercely loyal. They always show up for each other, no matter what, just like our fans always show up for us. We can’t wait to hear you roar with us!”

The newly-announced dates go on sale to the general public on Friday (Feb. 28) at 12PM local time.
